In consequence of the agr e e men t o f yes t er d ay, t h e 24th inst. made in a preparatory conference, and by which it was resolved, that at half-past nine o'clock this morning the Supreme Central Junta of Go- Vernment of the Itinerioin should be installed (to Which effect all the 'Most Serene Deputies present In this Royal residence, amounting to more than two-thirds of the number which should compose the ,Junta of Government, who are mentioned alpha betically in the margin, were summoned), the ce temonywas observed in the following manner : The said Must Serene Deputies assembled in the Sacristy[ of the Chapel belonging to the Palace of this 'Royal Residence,, and when formed, seated themselves on the benches placed on both sides for that purpose. Th e y then heard Mass, which was Celebrated by; the Most Excellent the Archbishop of LAODICEA, Coadjutor of the Archbishop of Seretz,ea, and Deputy 4f that Kingdom ; after which the fol. lowing Oath, which' had been previdusly taken by that Prelate, was administered by him, upon the, book of the Haly Evangelists, to all the Must Serene Deputies " You swear by God and his Holy Evangelists, land by Jesus Christ crucified, whose sacred image you have iiere present, that in the employment and , fundions of a Member of the Central Supreme Juv i of Govern ment of the Kingdom;you will detlcyr and promote the Preservation and increase or our Holy Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion that,you will be loyal to, and defend, our august So- Verelgn FERDINAND VII. and his rights and Sove teignty ; that you will promote the preservation of Our Rights and Privileges, our Laws and Usages, and especially those relative to the succession in the Reigning Family, and those also which are particu larly laid down in the same laws; and, finally, that ' , ct will promote every thing conducive to tee ge tem' welfare and h a ppi ness of this Kingdom, and. the 4rnelioration of its customs, keeping secret every thing that should be so, proteCting the Laws from every evil, and persecuting their enemies even at the hazard of your lif e, safety, and prope rty.---.So I Swear." " If you do so, God be your helper; and if not,. tray lie punish you, as on e who has. taken his holy name in vain,"—afinen. A. solemn Te Deum was sung by the Community of Barefooted Monks of St. Pasqua' of this place; and this religious ad being coecluded, the Junta Passed in front of the fine battalion oflight troOP 6 9 Of Valencia, which was formed in two files from the entrance of th e Ch ape l to t h e sta i rcase of the R oya l Palace, and adjourned to one of the principal halls destines at present for the sitting of the Junta. - In this public proceeding, and among the multi tau,d, e r c ' t. ' People of, all 'classes and conditions who .were d'i''' n4l e-cls-tha greatest interest and enthusiasm were I coveredin favour of FERDINAND VII. His name Junta, souded w on all sides, together with that of the who had just sworn, before God and man, at the hazard of their lives, to restore to his Throne a Sovereign, sci at then our laws beloved, to defend our holy religion, , usages, and customs. The opening of) g at es of the Royal Palace, 'which had been atil acin g e s the melancholy babitaaltisolitude of the magnificent or our Kings, a n d the remembrance of the epoc k at Which ,NAPCIC Shot II s and of the reasons for which, they le drew tears even from the firmest of the 44ettators, who performed the most affectionate and interesting aaion, and the most useful in excit ing veng eance a ga i nst the causes of those evils, and a just confidence in the sub:leas who, after incurring such danger in so lust a cause, nevertheless present themselves i n as great number as is' necessary to bring it to a happy termination. Such, doubtless, is what we ought to hope from the union and fra ternal affection with which the united'Kingdoms are neatually animated. The enthusiasm and interest felt by the people increased, when the most Serene De- Pluies proceeded to the great gallery of the principal front of the Palace, from which the, actual President 4t ed dzt erjm Count FLORIDA BLANCA, again proclaital. 01lour beloved King FERDINAND j and the people 1 . Z" ... .. Often increasing their lively acclamations 'ld the affections with which they were,in spired h -Y a body who were to fulfil such great hop tion to - tee more properly conceived, in propoy r bl the dignified sincerity with which the august proceeding which the nation has ever wit nessed has been celebrated. The Most Serene Deputies being placed in their respective stations, and the President having pro nounced a short but appropriate discourse, the Junta declared itself legitimately constituted, without any. prejudice to the absentees, who, according to file agreement of yesterday, are to compose the Junta of Government, in absence of our King and Master, FERDINAND VII. and ordered a literal certification of this att to be drawn up, and directed to the Pre sident of the Council, for his information, and that of the Tribunal. In the mean time communicatigs; are mad e to him of the lest orders agreed 'upot4.,'!. Royal Palace of Aranjuez, the z;th of Sept. 1803. IvIARTIN DE GAROY, General Secretary ad interim. 8.-=Froth i the dnarter-..?1 aster f toe auxiliary artnY of Galicia, in 'Portugal; Don FRANCISCO Da Mo., we are inrorme), that; on the kith, the French troops at Lisbon were embark ing, and that they Were only carrying Off with them French property, and no other, as had been reported. This Officer (Ides merited justice to the army of his Britannic Majesty, and to the valour and gallantry General WELLESLEY. In the first, aolion, the French, concealed in a pine grove, did considerable execution in the British army, but in the second they were beaten, and put completely to the rout by the British arms. That generosity and humani ty,. so dear to the noble English, were the motives for granting to JUNOT, and his army, a capitulation, Of which his condu& had rendered him unworthy. But as the French had colleaed provisions for six months in the Castle, and had fortified themselves in the centre of the city, in order to save the capi tal, which would have suffered greatly if the siege had lasted, and with the °Rica of co-operating with the troops at a point of greater importance to all Eutope—on all these grounds, perhaps, Gen. DAL . /12XMP L E agreed to the Capitulation, about which, however, we do not pretend to form an opinion ; though we cannot omit bearing testimony to the valour and gallantry of General WELLESLEY, and the Chiefs and soldiers of his army. CAN A CONQUEROR MAKE NAPPY THE NATION WHICH HE CONQUERS ? Before resolving this problem; it will he proper to lay down certain undeniable and generally ad mitted principles. In the first place, we speak here of that happiness derived from enjoying the conve piencies of life, procured by the arts, industry, and commerce ; of that tranquillity which arises from the observance of the principles of morality, and , from the proper administration of justice. It is, also proper to observ e , th a t a man estimates leis happi ness by the enjoyment of those conveniencies with which he is acquainted, and by consequence that his happiness must be limited by his ideas and habits; so that a man born in Siberia thinks himself happy, though living in a hovel, in which a Parisian would look upon himself as the most, unhappy mortal in the world, just as OVID thought himself in Pontus, when"calling t o mi n d t h e l uxury an d magnificence of It.dtte, though he admitted the contentment of the Scytt hians. The conveniences of life then are estimated ac- cording to the habits of men, and the soft bed of down, necessary to procure sleep to some, may • banish it from others. In two things alone as neces sary to happiness all mankind . are agreed,- and these are the preservation of property, .and the tranquil enjoyment of it. He who attacks the former, or disturbs the latter, under . any pretence whatever,. in, stead of making a people happy, makes them miser able; since he deprives them of a good which they 4 18ve . ,,.even though troth this privation • benefit should "OJsisilt to posterity. Tranquillity supposes liberty, and complete independence of all other laws and go, vernment but that which a nation may have adopt ed ; it also - supposes the prompt administration of justice, and confidence in those who administer it. What every conquered nation first loses is its liberty and independence, and as these are the pro perty of the nation, and dearest to man, in effea, a nation, by being conquered, is deprived of those possessions to which it is most attached, .namely, its laws, its usages, its tranquillity, and confideneei and is forced to pass, against its inclination, from its original state, that to which it liar been accus tomed, and which it pr e f ers , i n it s own o pi n i on , to some 'ether state; whatever future advantages may be deceitfully held forth, such a change must prove harsh and violent. That all the advantages which conquerors hold forth are false and merely supposi tions, must be evident from this, that conquest is dictated by ambition, and that it can have no other object than the robbery and usurpation of the pro perty of another, and the slavery and oppression of the conquered country. Rome increased in riches . , ; astaiigi l andeur by the gold of the East and of Spain. , L,,Stio became powerful ; but in order to aggrandize herself above all other nations, she deprived them of all they possessed the most valuable, and subjugated then. Egypt, froin the moment when she was subdued, became unfortunate, for she. was the mi serable victim of th e ambitiOn of the conquerors. Athens, as long as she p reserve d her liberty, was learned, industrious, commercial, and rich. She became the prey of ambition, and that fertile region, described in fable as the.country of the gods, was: converted into . a miserable desert, inhabited by bar- barians. The obelisks of Memphis, and the statues' oaf 4thens, were the monuments of robbery in the fordms and temples of Rome, and that city beingnow conquered by BUONAPARTE, more fierce than At tila; who respected these triumphs, they have been transferred . to Parris, and are manitiest proofs of the feliCity which BCONAPARTE dispenses to the king doms and nations which he conquers. How, them, can the title of Conqueror be reconciled with that of Restorer and Protector of the human race? The former denotes the man of war, who acknow ledges no other law but that of force-7-no rule but what may make him master of the - property and liberty of the _ weak; he is a robber, and effecting his purpose by bloodshed, he is a highWityman ;• or . if by perfidy, he can only be looked upon as a ' Chief of Assassins. No conqueror can clear him- Self of these disgraceful appellations, since he is a robber who takes that by force which does not be long to. him; a highwayman, who sallies forth with' arms to rob on the highways; and an assassin, who robs and murders by lying in wait, and by treachery. What nation ; then, can expect its felicity from the hand of a conqueror i' Does the metropolis convey ,t ppirress to provinces conquered by . unjust means 1 i i. we all know that the great I m p er i a l C ap i ta l s i. i ~ aye 'beet) established on the ruin of conquered countries, and that every nation, which, by cowar dice or credulity, has permitted itself to be subjugated, is, from that moment, enslaved, miserable, and unhappy. CaItUNNA, OCT. 4.—Yestetclay morning, a Fleet of Transports, escorted by five English Frigates, a Brig, and a Cutter, hove in sight otf the Cape, at the distance of four leagues from this port. They have on board 8,500 men, under the command of the Marquis Da LA ROMANA, who are to be dis embarked at St. Andero, unless the Vessels should be prevented by contrary winds from making . that gut [epot. ADVICE TO PosrzatTy.--If the noble arts have for an objeti to perpetuate the ataions, the images, and the memories of heroic wen, acid that iatmor 64 is i jiiti reward of v'i l ritie and antirage, and i clear pivof of the gratitude 'of a nation, without whidi Virtne4 niiriation ought to be called cultivated or civiliied; and that the statues or cAmiLLut ; MA- Rills, AisiroNthuS, and other Roman heroeS; the glory of the capital, wc.re the books in which the Roman youth studied the road to honour and glory the revolution in Spain, of the year [BOB, not being less illustrious than any event which has Atained immortality, I propose, for the adoption of all good, patriots, and as a beneficial and salutary advice to posterity, to cast an eternal *Opprobrium on .the Wicked, and to retie& glory on loyalty and patriotism, that in all'the facades or fronts of houses of Public assembly in- the cities and towns of the Peninsula and its ;dominions, there be . .engraven in stone or bronze, an inscrigtion, which shall succinOly.rna- nifest all that has occurred in Spain by the perfidy of 13novAiAaat and tlie French; the infidelity of the. infamous Goooy, and the misplaced confidence of King CHARLES IV. to prevent, -for the future; a foreign- army entering our territory, .occupying our: palaces and fortifications, and committing such atro,, cities upon our persons and,property as the French did, and that our S o ver e i gns an d Suprem e TrinunalS, ' apprised of the seductive - perfidy with' which the French abused the noble confidence of our beloved . FERDINAND VII. in alluring him to F rance under, false pretexts, detaining and confining him, and forcing him to resign all pretensions (0 the , CroWn'of Spain and the Indies, contrary to law and justice, leaving the nation in grief and mourning, under t h e yoke of a Fdreigner, and exposed to total destruelion, shall swear not to permit the Kings to leave-their' territories. without consulting anti- obtaining- the ap- -, probation of the Supreme Tribunal of the nation, and getting sufficient security fbr the Royal Person not losing his liberty, and plunging the nation in sorrow and grief ; and that the Sovereigns may per- . ceive the grievous consequences of putting their royal confidence in any individual person to execute. the functions of „Government, I would propose, that, with the assistance of all the tribunals, and the as sembly of the royal and noble city of Madrid, ' there shall annually, on the 2d of May, he a brief recital, in the Royal Palace, of the occurrences in Spain, from the affair of the Escurial, until the restoration of our beloved Sovereign to his throne, and the eva cuation of the country by the French ; and that ho nourable mention be made of the generosity of GEORGE the Third and the people of the British na tion ; and that, on the following day, -ther e b e a solemn anniversary, in all the churches, in honour of thci loyal inhabitants of. Madrid, and the valiant Spaniards, - who with so much heroism saved their country and. their Sovereign._ The title of Emperor of the Two Americas, which CHARLES IV. was to assume, according to the:Se cret Treaty of the 27th of °dotter, is particularly worthy of notice. What are those two AmericaS We know of none but North and South.—Let the commentators of the United States meditate well on this text ; and let every American Citizen bear it in mind when he seeks for the causes of Mr. JEFFER SON'S attachment to France.---This Treaty was made under the aethority of the Par NCH of the PEACE, and was studiously concealed from the regular Ministers. The emigration of CHARLES IV. and his Family to America, was also secretly concerted bet Ween the PRINCE of the PEACE and BUONAPARTE, who ek-' pefteal tben to occupy the vacant Throne of Spain without resistance. But the unlooked-for energy of the Spanish People has happily defeated this dark and infamous conspiracy. • , We trust that M. CEVALLOS' luminous, able, and convincing publication, will be circulated in all pos sible ways through every part of Europe. Nothing should be omitted to make it as public as possible in France, irrltaly, Germany, every where. It is, an engine of mighty power against BUONAPARTE—it is the lever of ARCHIMEDES, and will raise th,e world against him. A contest of a, singular nature has lately taken place at Edmonton. A proposition had been made by the Parish Officers to, the Vestry, for building a wall round the Workhouse, which was negatived. The former, however, proceeded in carrying the proposed 'measure into effed, and the Vicar (the R. Dawso* - Waiteetc), although a requisition was presented to him, signed by twenty-eight Pa rishioners, •refused to call another' Vestry. After repeated ineffectual applications for a Vestry, a general meeting of the Parishioners was called, and held at the Bell, at Edmonton, on the 7th ult. at which several Resolutions were passed on the mo tion of Mr. WAITHMAN, declaring that the Parish Officers were not empowered to make any new buildings or erections, at the expence of the Parish, without the consent of the general Vestry, and con demninthe conduct of the Officers and of the Vicar. After the wall was completed, a Vestry was called, at which Mr. MELLISH took the Chair. A Resolu tion was moved, approving of the conduct of the Parish Officers, to which Mr. WAITHMAN moved an Amendment, directing that the Parish Officers should not pay for the wall out of the parochial funds. Upon a shew of hands, the Amendment was declared to be carried; a division was demanded, and there appeared for the Amendment 97—against it 50—majority 47. A poll of the whole Parish was then deManded, which was strenuously object ed to by the majority, but was granted by Mr. MEL elm, to continue three days, from eight in the morning till four in the afternoon. It was then moved, that the same be by ballot; but Mr' Mi:n- LISH refused to put the question. At the close of the poll the nurnbersappeared for Mr. WAITHMAN*S Amendment I,s2—against it 85—majority . 67. 7 - After the numbers were declared, another motion was made. by' Mr. WAITHMAN, declaring the con duet of M . 1% MELLISH, as Chairman, to have been partial and improper—which was carried by a.great Majority. Mrs. Callard, a laundress, in Wych-street, a few evenings since was defrauded of a large quantity of linen by a decent looking woman, who told her that she must go immediately to a Gentleman's house in Gtay's Inn, to fetch some linen to wash. After going with -her some way she feigned sickness, and as soon as Mrs. Callard was out of bight, she has- , tened back to her house, and told the maid servant that her mistress' sent her for all the. washed ben to be mangled, which ,being given to her, she de camped, and has not since been heard of. • Mrs. Canard could not find out the person she was re commended to by this female sharper, who was hoodel over her head that the might not te,recog sised, iiu GER P.IP;TA,II PARrt, 27..--The news 'frOiii Mention, that hiS - Maje,ty the Emperor had paised. through that town on the 34th.

The measures adopted by our Court With rope& to the Reserve and Militia, are tountaed with plari laid down long ago, and now only finally carried into execution. All doubts will vanish in a short time. These measures .have 'notoriously been sup ported with the utmost spontaniety of the subjetits; and were matured with a promptness and alactity outstripping expe&atiou. For the rest we can as sure, that ourgmh.st,ands a footing of the b e st understanding witk the two leading Powers—wit 7 ness the distitArk N'Rf h 'which the French and tha Russian Amb - assador - s - are treated upon every occasion; and particularly so at the late solemnity of her perial Majesty's .

TRIESTE, SEPT. 9.—The Austrian Government has taken the necessary precautions to re-establish and secure, theCotti-tnunication between the country of Venice ttffff- i Dr/in:lit/a, which during the whole. course of the present maritime war is to be kept up: We are assured, that the Governor of Trieste h a g made representations to that Court, in order to in duce it to send some detachments of light infantry, ,to be cantoned in the villages along the great road between Trieste, Fiume, and Dalmatia: SUICIDE.—A beautiful young Worriari; 'who was recently the adored of a certain Marquis, and whet has since been under the protection of a military Officer (Capt.
